2017年11月11日雅思大作文题目：Online shopping is now replacing shopping in store. Do you think it is positive or negative development?

双十一当天的雅思作文问的是大家对网上购物的态度。由于互联网的发展，现在很多人都不去商店而选择在网上购物。那么，这个趋势是好还是坏呢?

本题是2014年11月22日，也就是3年前的原题重现。唐老师已经多次提醒各位烤鸭，最近雅思作文对2014年下半年及2015年上半年的原题复现率很高，请大家重点复习。

另外，唐老师编著的《9分达人雅思写作真题还原及解析》275-278页的范文也与本次考试题目高度仿真，有兴趣的同学可以结合参考。

“有了互联网，我们就可以不(上班，上学，去博物馆，去商店，去旅游......)”

回头谈网上购物。其好处当然很多，比如便捷、节约时间、价格便宜，但坏处也是显而易见的，比如看不见实物因此可能买到不适合自己的东西、没有了一家人去商店购物的那种乐趣、网络欺诈等。总体来说，虽然我们不一定要依赖网上购物，但网上购物的确给我们购物提供了一种可以选择的方式。

Online shopping has many advantages, especially when it is compared with the store shopping. Sitting comfortably at home, no matter how terrible the weather outside might be, and with a few simple clicks on our computer or smart phone screen, we can order almost everything we need from clothes to books and from electric appliances to air tickets. Then what we have to do is wait one or two days for the delivery of your order. The whole process is really easy and simple and thus can save us a lot of time, not to mention the reduced prices we often enjoy when we shop online.

网上购物有许多优点，尤其是当它与商店购物相比较时。舒舒服服地坐在家里，不管外面的天气有多糟糕，只要简单地在电脑或智能手机屏幕上敲几下，我们就可以买到我们需要的任何东西，从衣服到书籍，从电器到机票，然后我们要做的就是等一两天后订单交付。整个过程非常简单容易，因此可以节省我们很多时间，更不用说我们网上购物时还经常享受到降价。

解析

(1)本段论述网上购物的好处，主要论述其简单容易，节约时间。

(2) click 敲(键盘)

(3) appliances 器具(尤其是电器)

(4) delivery 交付，发送

(5) process 过程

(6) not to mention... 更不用提......

Yet online shopping may create problems, too. First, as we cannot see thetransaction going on with our own eyes, we may likely buy something that does not really suit us. We often hear our friends complain that they have to alter their expensive clothes bought online because it is too long or too short. To make it worse, to return our buy and get a different one is always a long and complicated process, which means we will lose the time we have gained from the online shopping. Secondly, unlike the store shopping, online shopping deprives us of the opportunities to spend a quality time together with our family members. I can still remember the excitement when my parents decided to take me to the supermarket to do the weekend shopping.

然而网上购物也可能带来问题。首先，由于我们不能亲眼看到交易的进行，我们可能会买一些不适合我们的东西。我们经常听到朋友抱怨他们不得不改变他们在网上购买的昂贵的衣服，因为它们过长或过短。更糟糕的是，退货换货是一个长期而复杂的过程，这意味着我们将失去我们在网上购物节约下来的时间。其次，与商店购物不同的是，网上购物剥夺了我们与家人共度一段美好时光的机会。我还记得以前父母决定带我去超市周末购物时的兴奋心情。

解析

(1)本段论述网上购物可能带来的坏处。首先是可能买到不喜欢的商品，其次是网络购物让我们享受不到一家人外出购物的乐趣。

(2) transaction 交易

(3) alter 改变

(4) buy (n.)所购买的东西

(5) deprive somebody of... 剥夺某人某物

To sum up, the Internet does provide us with a new and convenient way of shopping, but we should not completely rely on it. We may opt for online shopping when it is necessary, yet I believe the brick and mortar stores will never be replaced by online stores because of the unique shopping experience they offer us.

总之，互联网确实给我们提供了一种新的、便捷的购物方式，但我们不应该完全依靠它。如果有必要，我们可以选择网上购物，但我相信实体商店能够给我们提供独特的购物体验，因此永远不会被网上商店取代。

解析

(1)本段为结尾段，提出自己的观点：网上购物是一种新的选择，但商店购物可能永远也不会消失。

(2)provide 提供

(3)brick and mortar store 实体商店

(4)unique 独特的
